A method of processing a substrate by omitting a photolithographic process is disclosed. The method includes forming at least one layer on a stepped structure having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface that connects the upper surface to the lower surface, selectively densifying portions of the at least one layer respectively on the upper surface and the lower surface via asymmetric plasma application, and performing an isotropic etching process on the at least one layer. During the isotropic etching process, the portion of the at least one layer formed on the upper surface is separated from the portion of the at least one layer formed on the lower surface.

Method of processing a substrate and a device manufactured by using the method

Disclosed are a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof. According to the semiconductor device and the manufacturing method thereof according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, after the dopant source layer is uniformly deposited on a channel layer of the device with the 3-dimensional vertical structure by the plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) method, the deposited dopant source layer is heat-treated so that the dopants are diffused into the channel layer to function as charge carriers, thereby preventing the charges in the channel layer from being reduced. According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the diffusion speed and concentration of the dopant may be controlled by forming the barrier layer between the channel layer and the dopant source layer.

Semiconductor device and manufacturing method thereof

A method of processing a substrate to enable selective doping without a photolithography process is provided. The method includes forming a diffusion barrier on the substrate having a patterned structure using plasma deposition method, removing the diffusion barrier except for part of the diffusion barrier using wet etching, forming a diffusion source layer on the patterned structure and the part of the diffusion barrier, and applying energy to the diffusion source layer.

Method of processing substrate

A semiconductor manufacturing method includes depositing a low-k dielectric layer, forming a trench in the low-k dielectric layer, forming a barrier layer in the trench, filling a metal on the barrier layer, planarizing the metal, and forming a capping layer on the planarized metal, wherein the capping layer includes at least two layers.

Method of forming metal interconnection and method of fabricating semiconductor apparatus using the method

Disclosed are a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof. According to the semiconductor device and the manufacturing method thereof according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, after the dopant source layer is uniformly deposited on a channel layer of the device with the 3-demensional vertical structure by the plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) method, the deposited dopant source layer is heat-treated so that the dopants are diffused into the channel layer to function as charge carriers, thereby preventing the charges in the channel layer from being reduced. According to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the diffusion speed and concentration of the dopant may be controlled by forming the barrier layer between the channel layer and the dopant source layer.
